Production of hydrogen for upgrading of heavy oil: Senior design project--Spring 2009 | 2009-04-22 | oil supply; conventional oil sources; unconventional oil sources; oil shale; synthetic crude production; shale oil | An important technical hurdle to the production of oil from abundant oil shale resources is how to create enough hydrogen for upgrading the heavy oils produced from the shale prior to transport through pipelines. In order to avoid clogging pipelines during transport roughly 350scm (standard cubic me... |
